Ideal PoT for Marathon corral

[Tiggerette]

Hi y'all! Congrats on a great rD marathon weekend! I'm training for my first rD Marathon (Jan 2028), and targeting corral B placement. I'm training up for a half-Marathon November 2026, which I think should be acceptable to submit for Proof of Time (PoT) for Jan 2028 rD race. There used to be a handy DISer-made chart and info about total race time goals for PoT, but I can't seem to find it, or maybe it's not made anymore.

I'm wondering what the target time for a Half-marathon is these days to submit for the Marathon PoT?

Congrats again and thanks for any insights!

There's a whole thread about POT here that will provide all the info you need. The first post is still in line with what we saw this past marathon weekend. https://www.disboards.com/threads/pot-proof-of-time-race-equivalency-cutoff-confirmed-times.3699036/

tl;dr You'll need a HM time between 1:54 and 2:08 for B corral for the Marathon.

Hello - this thread has a lot of discussion on POT:

https://www.disboards.com/threads/pot-proof-of-time-race-equivalency-cutoff-confirmed-times.3699036/

the very first post has tables for POT for the Marathon and the Half (10 mile) too. the chart dated 10/31/2024 is the most current

This is awesome, thank you! I really appreciate the help!
PoT look-back used to be good for about 2 years. Are y'all seeing that in your recent races? My plan won't work if they changed the look-back PoT period to only a year old.

Thank you!

Thank you!

For last week's 2026 Marathon the POT date range was 1/1/2023 - 7/1/2025 and needed to be submitted by 7/1/2025.
Last years 2025 Marathon was similar - 1/1/2022 - 7/1/2024
So I would think that for the 2028 Marathon the date range would be 1/1/2025 - 7/1/2027

This is fantastic! Thank you. It'll give me a chance to submit a better proof of time, but I'm really excited about the New Orleans Half and Full marathon coming back in 2026. It'll be a much faster course than what I'm used to.

By the way, in case anyone is looking for a good course, the half marathon in New Orleans (Nov 14, 2026) is going to be fun and pretty. The marathon is the half as a loop. Sounds like there's even music/entertainment at the water stops. It's New Orleans, so of course it's gonna be a party!

Thanks again y'all!
